New Fidelity

New Fidelity builds loudspeakers in Germany, combining in-house manufacturing with custom system design. Its work ranges from active studio-style monitors to installations shaped around bars, record shops and other listening spaces.

Design & approach

New Fidelity develops its systems from initial concept through installation, with prototyping and production kept in-house. Made-to-order models sit alongside bespoke projects, allowing cabinet design and system layout to respond to the architecture and practical demands of each room.

The Reference 12 illustrates that approach: a fully active three-way monitor combining a 12-inch paper-cone woofer, a 6.5-inch midrange driver and an AMT tweeter with a custom waveguide. DSP and NCORE amplification are integrated into the design. The first pair was developed with naiv studio for Riviera Records in Munich, with finishes adaptable to other production and hi-fi settings.

For Taberna Martha, New Fidelity documents two Reference 12 three-way monitors, a custom 10-inch subwoofer and six Ref 6 satellites, with acoustic treatment and decoupled mounting integrated into the venue.

Inside the system

New Fidelity designed the distributed system, with Vunktion responsible for installation. Two Reference 12 three-way monitors serve the listening room, supported by a custom 10-inch subwoofer and six Ref 6 satellites. A Varia Instruments RDM40 rotary mixer forms the centre of the vinyl booth. The main pair establishes the dedicated listening area, while satellites extend coverage through the tavern. Acoustic ceiling treatment and decoupled speaker mounts connect the installation with the architecture of the bar and private dining room.
